Machine Learning Pioneer Michael I. Jordan Dismantles AI Doom Rhetoric as 'Grand Moralizing Performance'

Michael I. Jordan, a prominent machine learning pioneer, dismisses warnings about superintelligence as science fiction and criticizes young AI researchers' resignations as a 'grand moralizing performance.' He also calls companies' demands for regulation 'theater' and rejects Geoffrey Hinton's thesis that the brain can be reproduced in silicon and scaled into superintelligence, stating none of the steps are credible.
